@maxandnala @SuperRL96 @Roblox_RTC the 40k is only cheaper if your game is well-monetized, since the "highly engaged players" requirement only considers players who have spent a minimum amount of money across the whole platform as "highly engaged"

@SuperRL96 @Roblox_RTC My question is: isn’t it cheaper to invest 40k robux on ads and getting way more than 500 players than paying 100k robux directly?

Developers can now pay a refundable fee of 100,000 Robux to have their game quickly reviewed for access on Roblox Kids and Roblox Select, bypassing the 500 Highly Engaged Players requirement.

@VisOrTheRBLXian @46xs3wltdb0 @Roblox_RTC It has everything to do with keeping players safe because it's still a MASSIVE barrier for inappropriate games to surpass instead of being able to easily release to <16s on mass. They either have to meet the all ages requirement or pay a large *refundable* sum.

@46xs3wltdb0 @Roblox_RTC Giving the devs the option to spend shitloads of money just to bypass the all ages requirements got NOTHING to do with keeping the players safe. This was never about safety matter, just want to take the devs' incomes just for their greedy ass.

@Kinkergm @Roblox_RTC @Roblox Solo devs can get that money from doing commissionwork. There's literally zero excuse for why any developer on the platform cannot find a way to get the money needed to have their game bypass a safety requirement when they can market their skillset.

@Roblox_RTC @Roblox ya allah i was high when i tweeted this, yes i was just a little bit too mad, i still stand by my point that where are solo devs supposed to get taht money from

@bytejon @MaximumADHD It's because big content creators and figures like Schlep are misleading people to believe this update completely ruins ban lists like EASI and omits the part where Roblox explicitly says they are making a first party ban list implementation to compensate.

@MaximumADHD I don't even understand how this update is receiving the amount of backlash it is

Maybe I just grew up or maybe Roblox got bigger, were announcement threads on the devforum always filled with such obnoxious childish replies? devforum.roblox.com/t/update-on-sa… I don't think I'd have the patience to respond to people in there.

@GeminiJack11 @RealSchlep @ambeiie When you phrase it that way it sounds like you're a predator that got caught and labelled by their system.. Really not surprising that you'd seem so happy it is being dismantled.

@RealSchlep @ambeiie So its not because there's anything actually wrong with this system, but instead it will make it more difficult for people like you to track players on the platform? Sounds like a you problem 🤔

roblox just added an update that’s going to get thousands of kids groomed. unbelievable

@Epixilate @RealSchlep @ambeiie UserIds are being removed. Any API or property that returns a UserId no longer returns the one that these systems depend on, the one that is global and consistent across all games, and instead just returns the Scoped UserId specific to that game unless they are a returning user.

@RealSchlep @ambeiie UserIds aren't being removed, just deprecated. This doesn't break anything and I doubt roblox is going to remove UserIds as it will break TONS of games. There's tons of old deprecated functions that still work as normal without them being updated.

@Marcellusiye @MaximumADHD And yet they have proven time and time again that they are indeed this stupid.

@MaximumADHD Who knows, maybe they will follow this with a new ban system to track predators or such, I don’t really believe corporation worth this much is this stupid.

I'm curious to know what actually prompted Roblox to make the whole `User` datatype change, because I'm getting tired of having to stay in-line with whatever cynical assertions people keep making on here.

@melprettyflower @Bloxy_News They've stated all in-game APIs will return game-scoped UserIDs for new players, these should only be returning Global IDs for returning players to that game.

@Bloxy_News I’m failing to see where this protects privacy really, Roblox’s api UserService:GetUserInfosByUserIdsAsync() still would allow you to get their data from the user id no? Their username is also exposed to the game when they join anyway, I don’t see a difference.

Today, Roblox announced that Scoped User IDs are now in early testing. With this, players will have a unique user ID for every Roblox game they join, enabling better protection of user privacy. This change is expected to roll out in October 2026. Details: devforum.roblox.com/t/4677155

@bosss_1111 @nekstoer @greenlegocats But you have to use Open Cloud API to do this as they've stated the in-game API for this will return the scoped one, thereby adding a barrier that makes it infeasible for most.

Genuinely one of the most mind numbingly stupid updates Roblox has ever conceived. This makes safety WORSE!!! It will become harder for developers to ban users across their games and for communities to share ban lists to prevent gross+dangerous users from entering their games.

@programmer_lua @MaximumADHD The Content type is far more flexible than ContentId properties and lets them source asset data from things like EditableImage/Mesh or even other specialized sources.

@MaximumADHD I don't understand the reason for the property to be added in anyway. It acts the same way as it's counterpart(e.g. Texture/TextureContent)

In other news, it looks like Roblox has finished adding the Content type to almost every remaining ContentId property! EditableImage will now be supported in the following objects: - ImageHandleAdornment - ScreenshotHud - ParticleEmitter - SpecialMesh - AdGui - Beam - Trail

@rblx_j0nny @Blushneyy Ragebait used to be believable

@Blushneyy Suck it up and devex less 🤷‍♂️

For the past 3 months, Roblox has been REFUSING to pay my friend 45,000 USD that he fully earned. He's tried every way to devex 12,000,000 Robux into 45,000 USD but Roblox failed to help him for more than 3 months. Thread 🧵 Likes and RT's are HIGHLY appreciated. Please spread awareness. #Roblox #RobloxDev

@RoVoider It's because this new restriction is only in testing within select countries, anyone outside of these countries is still able to play perfectly fine until it goes global.

Also, I thought the whole point of it was for it to be 16+ and not accessible to all ages until you reached the 500/500 required. So why are accounts aged below 16 still able to play (as seen by the age stats)

Roblox what the hell counts as an 'authentic user'. Because how in fuck have I not reached the target of 500, 16+ players. I've spent almost $50 USD on ads and I have 5/500 - this new system is actual AIDS I waited 3 days for this stat to update, and I got hit with 5/500.. like its actually impossible for new games to get this requirement If anyone knows anything about this new system, please lmk 🙏 #Roblox @Roblox #RobloxDev

I honestly believe this is an acceptable reason to negative review bomb a game. You already had one launcher; Steam. With a Steam account. That should be enough.

@fowntainwhat @Stravant Isn't what you're describing essentially something like this then? devforum.roblox.com/t/civilarc-roa…

@Stravant my i'm still building roads with archimedes and GapFill. a dream plugin would allow users to bend, extend, bank, etc all in a simple UI with all the gaps automatically filled. something similar to the TPT2 roller coaster advanced builder. sorry for the crap quality, not on my pc

Still working on the carts. In the meantime, here's classic road segments done as a ProceduralModel: create.roblox.com/store/asset/96…

@TUmadre_2406 @EXC4L1BXR @DavidBaszucki Why should that matter? It should be up to the developer if they want to support low-end devices or if they are targeting higher-end devices. More creativity gets lost when Roblox arbitrarily limits the engine's capabilities to force all games to support low-end devices.

@EXC4L1BXR @DavidBaszucki Estaría muy pesado para los de movil gama baja, además que la creatividad se pierde

New capabilities in the Roblox engine are enabling the next generation of play, and creators are already using this tech to build increasingly immersive experiences.

@Rudyrant0 @shawnyyyy291 @aevyre_ @gravycatman If you read the terms of how that compensation works, you would understand that it's insanely unfair to the developer. They have to gamble that their private server will be in that player's top 5 most played each month, and then there's a max limit to the comp ontop of that.

@shawnyyyy291 @aevyre_ @gravycatman because they're greedy. they already get compensated for the server's being free to roblox plus users

devs are making vip servers a gamepass to counter roblox plus...

@henoiidx @LukasThePickle @greenlegocats Please explain what bug could come from something as simple as just a Decal slapped onto a SpecialMesh part. You clearly don't know what you are talking about and have fallen for their nonsense PR talk.

A Roblox employee explained why Roblox removed 2d faces/classic heads in favor of Dynamic Heads, makeup, and other face features.

@CaptArgo24 @nftscreenshott @greenlegocats @Roblox Removing a way users expressed themselves with their avatars does not introduce more possibilities, it only removes them. This is a stupid point to make and they could have easily just let classic faces be and people would be happy if these faces did not have modern features.

@nftscreenshott @greenlegocats @Roblox A newer modern framework to match other engines to have more possibilities

Makeup is here, giving users a flexible, multi-layered system to personalize their avatars even more.

@asimo3089 @KreekCraft How quickly can they "detect" this? It's highly likely by the time they detect anything the predator will have already lured a child off-platform and they will have gotten their money's worth at that point.

@KreekCraft That is such a scam considering Roblox will have you reverify if they detect anything out of your age bracket.

People are already selling age verified Roblox accounts
